"I want to save Tate & Cane Enterprises. This company is our
birthright, our fathers' legacy – and its employees are our
responsibility"
When HITCHED landed on my kindle I
quickly finished up my current read so I could dive right in. Noah and Olivia
have known each other practically their entire lives. Their fathers are the
founders and co-CEOs of Tate & Cane Enterprises. With one father gone and
the other terminally ill, the fate of the company rests in their hands. But
under one condition. They have to get married. They grew up together, had a brief period
of attraction back in high school but it never evolved into anything. Noah is a
sexy businessman who has had the ability to sweet talk his way out of and into
almost anything he wants. Except her. Olivia is a driven, strong willed, and
has worked hard to get where she is. Can they figure out how to coexist in
order to save their company? I sure hope so!
“As business partners, Olivia and I blur gender stereotypes. I’m the
‘face,’ the charismatic people-pleaser, while she’s the get-shit-done
powerhouse. Playing to our strengths lets us divide and conquer.”
I read HITCHED in two days (in the middle
of packing and moving!). This story was completely addictive. Kennedy Ryan even
threw some great twists in there that threw me for a loop. Since this was
Volume 1 in a 3-part mini-series, I just KNEW we were leading up to a
cliffhanger. Boy did it ever! Thank goodness each installment is only releasing
2 weeks apart. I’ll have plenty to keep me busy for some much needed breaks
while unpacking. For my first book by Kennedy Ryan, I am impressed. I will definitively
be looking in to more of her work.
"That’s
the whole point of doing this trial period—to see how well we can play ball
together before committing to a team-up. I’m doing my best to become friends
with you, so . . .”
He
tilts his head with a half smile. “Just friends? I’ve got my sights set a
little higher.”
Gee, I
never would have guessed, what with his constant attempts to steer the
conversation toward sex.
I quirk
one eyebrow in skepticism. “Friendship is all we need to pull this thing off.
And we’re pretty much starting from square one . . . I would call us
acquaintances, at best. Don’t you think you’re being a little overambitious?”
“Nope,”
he replies, cocky smile still firmly in place.
I roll
my eyes. “Wow. Your arrogance truly has no limits.”
“If I
can put my money where my mouth is . . .” His lustful smirk makes it clear
exactly where he’d like to put his mouth. “Then it’s not arrogance. Just
confidence.”
“What
makes you think I would want more with you, anyway? You aren’t exactly my
type.”
I
expect him to just give me a knowing look, or maybe toss back some mild
innuendo. What I absolutely did not expect was, “Because I have a nine-inch
cock.”
I
almost choke on my martini for a third time. I splutter, “Is that number
supposed to impress me?”
3"
I give
him a skeptical look. “You want to show me your dick?”
“If
it’ll help convince you.” He drains the last drops of his Scotch and stands up.
“Come on, let’s go.”
I stare
after him as he walks away.
Is he
serious? He’s just going to whip it out? I look around to see if anyone is
watching me, then I get up and follow him to the bar’s back hallway, near the
restrooms, unable to comprehend why the hell I’m humoring him. This is
ridiculous.
Once
we’re safely in a private corner, Noah undoes his belt, opens his fly . . . and
pulls out a fucking fire hose.
Holy
mother of God. My hands fly to my mouth. I want to gasp in shock, but there’s
no way I’m giving him the upper hand.
He was
right. His cock is nothing short of massive, and it’s not even fully erect
right now. Nine inches may actually be a conservative estimate of what it might
look like hard. He must destroy men’s egos every time he walks into a locker
room. And I don’t even want to think about what he destroys with women . . .
“Meh.
I’ve seen bigger,” I force out, fighting to maintain my composure.
Noah
chuckles. “I don’t think so, sweetheart.”
“Well,
th-that monster is not coming anywhere near my uterus. No, thank you. I prefer
to keep my organs intact.”
Noah’s
grin widens. “I doubt that, but just to be on the safe side, I’ll ease it in
nice and slow. Piece of cake. Plus, you’ve got good health insurance, right?”
“That
is not funny, Noah. Now, put that thing away or I’ll remove it.”
I try
to sound stern, but my shaking voice and bright red cheeks surely give me away.
Why the hell can’t I stop staring?
He
chuckles—yeah, the jerk can definitely see right through me—but he obliges,
tucking the beast back into its lair.

I went to a wedding here several years ago and fell in love. The Seattle Wedding venues are beautiful and I was so incredibly impressed and charmed with this place that when I got engaged, we didn't even shop around. It was this place or bust.
